German Court: speedy student must pay fees

A German graduate who finished his Bachelors and Masters degrees “too fast” will have to pay for the seven semesters he was expected to take, a court said on Wednesday, after he was sued by his former university. Dubbed a "turbo student" by the German media, Marcel Pohl argued that those who drop out of the Essen-based School of Economics and Management (FOM) without graduating did not have to pay, neither should he. All students sign the same contract, he said. But the judge at the Arnsberg district court in North Rhine-Westphalia disagreed, and told 22-year-old Pohl on Wednesday that as he used the same facilities to complete his degree that a normal student would, ...

Just sitting here in front of the boob tube with a cup of Joe watching Brian Ross of ABC trying desperately to tie this young psycho to right wing politics. He's already been describes as a member of the "Tea Party" and just now was described as a "Super Patriot." My question for Mr. Ross, and the rest of the whore MSM is, has, or is, this kid on any psych meds? Has he ever been? Is his rage the result of chronic unemployment or perhaps discrimination as a result of his race? Coincidentally, this shooting is just 20 some odd miles away from Columbine. At any rate, I suggest folks get their high capacity mags ASAP. Both Obummer and Rummy are anti gunners an will come ...

A Cry for Help from Albania For a number of years, Nancy along with the leadership and staff of Revive Our Hearts have had a desire to minister to sexually-trafficked women and Muslim women. Recently our Media Director, Wes Ward, was invited to visit several countries in Eastern Europe that would like to air Revive Our Hearts Radio. Since he returned, Albania is one of the countries we can’t stop thinking about and praying for. Last month, Enkelejda—an influential Albanian woman God is using to impact her world with the Gospel through Christian radio—visited our headquarters here in Michigan. I had the privilege of listening in as she shared the plight of the women and ...

I hereby extend this heartfelt and most cordial invitation to invade. I can assure you that you will be welcomed with open arms. Perhaps we could work out some sort of exchange program with you. This will be most beneficial if you like husky women with what are termed "tramp stamps", piercings in odd places, loud clear voices, innovative dress and hairstyles etc. These women deserve the best; which they will constantly remind you. Cordially yours PSUSA2
Our Brains Often Fail to Notice Key Words That Can Change the Whole Meaning of a Sentence

ScienceDaily (July 16, 2012) — Far from processing every word we read or hear, our brains often do not even notice key words that can change the whole meaning of a sentence, according to new research from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). After a plane crash, where should the survivors be buried? If you are considering where the most appropriate burial place should be, you are not alone. Scientists have found that around half the people asked this question, answer it as if they were being asked about the victims not the survivors. Similarly, when asked "Can a man marry his widow's sister?" most people answer "yes" -- effectively answering that ...

The mission: to build an eco-home. The budget: laughable. The secret weapon: straw. Vicki Hill finds out how one man got back to nature – and how you can build a den the same way When he's expecting visitors, Steve James watches out the windows so he can catch the look on their faces when they see his house for the first time. "It's always the same," he say. "There's an intense stare and total mystification, as if they can't quite believe what they are seeing." This may be because James's house is made of straw and has a turf roof covered in flowers. James is passionate about eco homes and deeply proud of the cottage, which huddles by a loch ...

Ghosts-- A Skeptic's View: - C2C recap
Post Date: 2012-07-15 01:43:51 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
On Wednesday's show, paranormal investigator and columnist for Skeptical Inquirer magazine, Joe Nickell, discussed his latest work on ghosts and so-called spirits of the dead. He argued that most paranormal cases are promoted with an "argument from ignorance" i.e. "we don't know what the noise in the old house was, therefore it's a ghost." Nickell was critical of modern ghost investigators who use an array of testing equipment at locations said to be haunted. It's highly unlikely that their readings are detecting ghostly activity, but rather they may be picking up microwave power in the area, or the electromagnetic signatures of their own devices, he ...

Here is the yahoo link to the pictures. http://news.yahoo.com/lawmakers-want-made-china-u-olympic-uniforms-burned-174456466--abc-news-politics.html To me the pictures I've seen look like they came straight from Nazi Germany, North Korea, or Communist Russia. They also remind me of those old communist propaganda cartoon drawings that people post every now and then to make a point. A show of the times I guess. Seig Heil!
Can You Teach Yourself Synesthesia?

Conventional wisdom says that synesthesia is innate -- you're either born with the condition or you're not, end of story. If you happen not to have been born that way but would really, really love to experience numbers as colors, or colors as sound ... then you, my sense-straight friend, are pretty much out of luck. Except ... maybe not? A group of psychologists at the University of Amsterdam have been testing whether synesthesia might, actually, be learned. Synesthetes' innate cognitive wiring leads them to augment their perception of the physical world; the researchers wanted to see whether the reverse could take place -- whether an augmented physical world could lead to ...

Ouija board helps psychologists probe the subconscious

Beloved of spiritualists and bored teenagers on a dare, the Ouija board has long been a source of entertainment, mystery and sometimes downright spookiness. Now it could shine a light on the secrets of the unconscious mind. The Ouija, also known as a talking board, is a wooden plaque marked with the words, "yes", "no" and the letters of the alphabet. Typically a group of users place their hands on a movable pointer , or "planchette", and ask questions out loud. Sometimes the planchette signals an answer, even when no one admits to moving it deliberately. Believers think the answer comes through from the spirit world. In fact, all the evidence points to the ...
Taliban deny involvement in execution of adultress

Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents have denied involvement in the recent public execution of a woman captured in a horrific video that caused international outrage. Afghan authorities blamed the Taliban Islamists for killing the 22-year-old woman for adultery, as was common during their rule of the country between 1996 and 2001. She was was shot dead as dozens of men cheered in a village about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of the capital Kabul. But the Taliban said in a statement on their website on Thursday that they had investigated the incident and found the woman was "killed by the decision of the local residents". "The involvement of the... mujahideen as ...

Killing is not a sport, but our $$ advertise it at sporting events. A bipartisan measure in Congress has passed through committee that would stop spending $80 million for military sports sponsorships, primarily auto racing. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) is fighting to restore that funding. Tell your Representative you oppose funding military race cars. While $80 million is small compared to billions the military spends annually on recruitment and advertising or the trillion each year in total military spending, this $80 million is important: The Army claims that one-third of its recruits come from motorsports marketing, including through its recruiting ...

Chief Justice Roberts Is A Genius

It will be a short-lived celebration. Here’s what really occurred — payback. Yes, payback for Obama’s numerous, ill-advised and childish insults directed toward SCOTUS. Chief Justice Roberts actually ruled the mandate, relative to the commerce clause, was unconstitutional. That’s how the Democrats got Obama-care going in the first place. This is critical. His ruling means Congress can’t compel American citizens to purchase anything. Ever. The notion is now officially and forever, unconstitutional. As it should be. Next, he stated that, because Congress doesn’t have the ability to mandate, it must, to fund Obama-care, rely on its power to tax. Therefore, the ...
Catch 22

Catch 22 Meaning A paradox in which the attempt to escape makes escape impossible. Origin catch-22 The title of Joseph Heller's novel, written in 1953 and published in 1961, (properly titled 'Catch-22' - with a hyphen). The first chapter was also published in a magazine in 1955, under the title 'Catch-18'. The paradox is presented as the trap that confined members of the US Air Force. In logical terms the 'catch' was that, by applying for exemption from highly dangerous bombing missions on the grounds of insanity, the applicant proved himself to be sane (after all, that's what any sane person would do). If anyone applied to fly they would be considered ...
University sues student who 'studied too fast'

A private German economics and business university is suing one of its students for lost income after he finished his Bachelors and Masters degrees in about a quarter of the normal time. Marcel Pohl completed 60 examinations in 20 months, gaining a grade of 2.3, and was officially ex-matriculated in August 2011. Such a course usually takes 11 semesters, but he only needed three. Now the Essen-based School of Economics and Management (FOM) want the 22-year-old to pay his fees up the end of 2011 - an extra €3,000. "When I got the lawsuit, I thought it couldn't be true," Pohl, who now works for a bank in Frankfurt, told the Bild newspaper. "Performance is supposed ...

On Thursday's show, researcher of ancient mysteries, Frank Joseph Hoff, discussed the unusual work of Brazilian Prof. Arysio Santos on the true location of Atlantis. The late Prof. Santos had a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics but was also a specialist in a variety of disciplines including climatology, chemistry, geology, and archeology. Through such sources as ancient Hindu texts, and the writings of Plato and his contemporaries, he was able to "reverse engineer" the location of Atlantis-- a submerged subcontinent in Southeast Asia, where the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean all come together, Hoff recounted, adding that Indonesia is part of this land mass that ...

BOSTON, July 7, 2012 (Reuters) — U.S. Democratic Representative Barney Frank wed his longtime partner, James Ready, on Saturday, becoming the first sitting congressman to enter into a same-sex marriage. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick officiated the ceremony and added some levity by saying Frank, 72, and Ready, 42, had vowed to love each other through Democratic and Republican administrations alike, and even through appearances on Fox News, according to Al Green, a Democratic congressman from Texas. "Barney was beaming," said Green, who attended the ceremony. He added that Frank, a champion of gay rights and the sweeping reform of Wall Street, shed a tear during the ...

Comment Posted by Wealth Wire - Monday, July 2nd, 2012 This past Memorial Day - a scorcher in Chicago - Jim Chilsen and his family returned home to find the second floor of their bungalow, where the bedrooms are located, was suffocatingly hot. So hot, Chilsen recalls, that his son and daughter wouldn’t have been able to sleep. But then Dad came to the rescue: Within an hour, and without central air-conditioning or even a room air conditioner, Chilsen cooled the upstairs so well that his daughter asked for a blanket. Chilsen, director of communications for Citizens Utility Board, a nonprofit utility watchdog in Illinois, sees a lot of hot cooling tips cross his desk. The most ...
